    If I can sort the niggles I'll keep it for sure. Its not the only one I've seen that binds up when opening and sounds like it's not the only one with the poi shift.

    They are an excellent gun with a very good barrel and action. I would do the yards and eliminate all of the fundamental possibilities before looking for the obscure. That is, settle on the one ammo be it factory or your own loads to keep that variable out of the picture and test one thing only at a time with a minimum group of five rounds. With and without suppressor. With another scope etc etc. Yes, it is laborious but one variable at a time is the way to go - and when it's sorted you'll be well pleased - they are worth the effort.

    Haha Yeah a couple. Pity I left my spearfishing gear at home, needed it to have any hope of getting across the river and bringing them back. Cool to just watch though.

    Pick it up give it a jiggle clip the for end on and off make sure the suppressor is sweet and she's back to shooting bug holes again at the same zero.

    Could be the scope, second hand vx3 but then I doubt it would return to zero no?

    Any ideas? Could for end contact cause that big of a poi shift? Same with a ever so slightly lose suppressor? (no baffle strike I pulled apart and checked.

    All shooting done off a pack with care taken to load the for end in the same spot using a rear rest and light pressure via scope hold. Keen to kill some shit with it this weekend but not confident in the zero at the moment

    My mate had the 308. Did a load development and it was shooting 1/2 to 3/4 of a inch. It was doing random as flyers every now and then not very often. We never came to the bottom off it. We took it appart together and it seamed to return within 1/2 inch.

    Mine is a 45-70 and it shook shit out of the halfassed attempt to do the nuts up. I also "glued shit out of it" so am looking forward to checking zero on sat. It will be fine now (i hope). Not so sure about the burris zee rings i have on there.

    But note that these are hunter barrels. Only good for 3 round groups and then you must let them cool. Round 4 and 5 will never play ball
